We have all seen superheroes the likes of Batman, Superman and X-Men and we all know that, in spite of their super human abilities, even god-like abilities in the case of Superman, all of them possess flaws that help to define their character. This time around, the book "Zeroes" which is the collaborative effort of authors Scott Westerfeld, Margo Lanagan, and Deborah Biancotti, present us with teenage "heroes" who seem to be all-flaws, frustrations and insecurities yet still struggle to control their powers to make their situations better.

Let us get to know the six teenagers sharing the same birthday whose angst will entertain us in our fantasies:

There is Ethan who will tell you anything you want to hear, whether it's the truth or a lie, as long as you want to hear it and it can get you to do what he wants, he'll say it even if he doesn't know he's going to say it. He calls himself Scam, which is very apt, and his agony is that his power controls him more than he can control it. He's also the reason why the whole group ends up being thrown into an adventure they didn't want.

Chizara isn't someone you want to have a fight with especially if you love your gadgets. Aptly named Crash, she can destroy technology with her mind.

Riley calls herself Flicker. She is blind but she can see through the eyes of anyone. That in itself is quite frustrating . Thibault, who calls himself Anonymous, is mostly forgotten. That is, if he's not in front of people talking to them, his existence is pretty much forgotten, which is kid of synonymous to the Doctor Who's antagonists "The Silence," only Thibault doesn't seem to want to be forgotten once you take your eyes off him.

Nathaniel, also known as Bellwether, can be quite a mover and shaker because he can focus a group's energy to aim towards a single goal and Kelsie can help him with that because her power can raise or reduce a crowd's energy. Just think of how much change these two could do if they worked towards a single goal!

Westerfeld, Lanagan and Biancotti spent two years to create and mold the characters of "Zeroes" because they wanted the story to resonate with the Young Adult readers. From this, they came up with this group of six whose powers get stronger when with a large group or around technology. It's certainly something to look forward to.
